Default Navy rating patches?

Gentlemen
I have found a lot from WW2 period and these are amongst them and they don’t look Royal Navy ? Can anybody identify them please?
Kind regards Chay

Makes sense
I got an Afrikakorps group of cloth etc the other day so these were with it.
There’s no information online that I can easily find about the Regie Marina?
Kind regards Chay

Both are Italian WW2.

Both are for the rank of Junior Chief (One of their Petty Officer equivalent ranks)

The Hammer and lightening bolts = Electrician

the Anchor and star is for Harbour Personnel.

I love the hammer. Presumably that's to fix electrical things when they don't work? I know the feeling!

Yes David!
Indeed the Italians make some very great machinery but it’s high maintenance!
Kind regards Chay
